Driver idiocy

Your front page story (Sept 29) suggesting that all open road speed limits other than for roads with median barriers should be 80kph forced me to check the date – was it April 1? What nonsense!

The 100kph limit is, for the most part, perfectly safe and the only thing thatmakes it dangerous is driver idiocy.

The key to a lower road toll is

partly continued road improvements but mainly a lift in driving standards – compared with most Western nations, we are far too relaxed about issuing licences. Martin Harris, Havelock North
